Ufa Tonwoche was a German weekly newsreel program that ran from September 1925 until July 1940.
Ufa Tonwoche was created by Universum Film AG[1] after the merger of the Decla and Messter newsreels in September 1925.
In 1927 the German industrialist, financier, and politician Alfred Hugenberg bought Ufa saving it from bankruptcy.
In July 1940 the four major German newsreel programs, of which Ufa Tonwoche was one (together with the Tobis-Wochenschau, Deulig-Wochenschau, and Twentieth Century Fox),[2] were consolidated into a single newsreel program, Die Deutsche Wochenschau by Joseph Goebbels.
[5] As well as Germany, Ufa Tonwoche was shown in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Hungary, and the Netherlands.
